Usually parking is free when I exchange into HGVC and Marriott TS's, except for HHV. I'm going to book a TS at the Boulevard for a friend in December using some of my HGVC points that are expiring and have her pay for the Guest Certificate, but we're reading that self-parking is $8.00/nite. Is that true for HGVC owners using points or just non-owners using the TS as a hotel?

FYI, I have tried Google and TUG searches.
 
I stayed there last year as an exchanger through SFX, and I don't recall having to pay for parking at all. Maybe call and ask them?

They told me if you are an HGVC owner, parking is free. I own at Flamingo, but usually stay on the Blvd location and have never paid for parking. If your friends don't own, they will probably have to pay. I agreee, call the front desk. Maybe valet will be the same price, so at least they could get that. But not sure how valet is charged to non owners.
 
When I stayed there, parking was free. There's a flat lot behind it and a parking structure beyond the flat lot. There was a guy in the booth at the parking structure, but I'm not sure if/how the monitor the flat lot.

You have to go past the entry kiosk in the parking structure in order to enter or leave the open lot. The same rules will apply to both. And I agree with the others -- HGVC owners (at any location) are free, but non-owners will have to pay.
 
Is parking still free for owners at "The Boulevard" in 2023?

We are HGVC Elite. We recently went on an RCI Exchange into HGVC at The Boulevard. They tried to charge us $30 per night resort fee which includes parking and we had to inform them of our HGVC Elite Status and then the fee was waved. They didn't (or claim they didn't) know of our HGVC membership and Elite Status and just took our word for it ... unless it was on their screen and they just try to take advantage of those who don't ask. We had problems with one check in agent earlier in the year at the same place and he had to go talk to his manager blah blah and finally did it.
 
fwiw - At my HGVC LV Boulevard presentation a month ago, the tour guide emphasized that owners do not pay resort fees (including parking), but that was a timeshare salesperson talking.

I will not stay at a HGVC resort through RCI because of the $30/day resort fees on top of the exchange fee.

Yes. Our use of RCI has fallen significantly. I think I read in the quarterly report (and I now I forget who owns them, so ...) but I read that RCI's unit volume is shrinking. It will be like Comcast, etc, selling higher priced "service" to fewer & fewer customers. That seems like a highly-regarded corp strategy

They probably don't know, given the rez comes from RCI. They didn't know about me being a HGVC owner when staying at West 57th via RCI, and that's how I got invited to a non-owner timeshare presentation and given 100K HH. Salesman was mad.

AFAIR, flat parking has no ticket/key check gate but it's pretty impossible to find a spot there. AFAIR, the parking garage has gates but they auto-open. So nobody checks anything. I guess the gates are there for when events are happening.

This is not correct. As presley and Blues wrote, there is a manned kiosk at the parking garage where one must show the yellow parking pass to gain entry, including the flat lot.

It was easy to find a parking spot in the flat lot between 10 a.m. and 2-3 p.m., but that was in October; high season might, or might not, be different

I accept the fees because sometimes I can get some great arbitrage using my generic RCI trader when RCI has a points sale.
 
Take caution, that flat lot is often used for tents/trade shows. They had some super nice heavy cranes there on our last visit, I wanted to walk through the booths but I know it was a serious event, invite-only for multi-million dollar equipment.
 
FYI everyone, I received free parking for the week I was there. Was told it's complimentary for "owners".
